LG Dryer Not Drying – Sock Blocked the Motor – Solved Same Day in Vancouver, WA

Another returning customer from Vancouver WA. Last year, we repaired her LG washer – replaced the drain pump. This time, her LG TrueSteam dryer failed: laundry came out wet after each cycle.

Initial guess? Worn heater, bad thermostat, or faulty control board. But when she called EasyFix, we knew better than to guess. We checked the dryer ourselves.


From “Time to Replace?” to Same-Day LG Dryer Repair

Her first question was honest:

“Is it worth fixing, or should I buy a new appliance?”

Answer? Absolutely worth repairing.

Why? The failure was mechanical – not electronic. No need to replace the dryer.


What We Found – No Cycle Actually Happened

The customer thought cycles were running normally, just without heat. But in reality, the dryer shut off after 10–15 seconds each time. Emergency stop mode. No airflow, no motor movement, and no cycle. The system just tried to start and then stopped.

Problem? A sock jammed inside the blower wheel assembly.

The sock blocked the wheel. The motor couldn’t spin. That triggered the dryer’s safety shutdown.


What We Did – Step by Step

  • Disassembled the LG dryer (model DLEX8100V).
  • Inspected blower assembly and motor.
  • Removed the sock blocking the blower wheel.
  • Checked motor, bearings, and sensors — all working fine.
  • Reassembled and tested operation.

Total cost: $239.14 – everything included. No surprises.

Job done. Dryer working perfectly. Same day.
